Reflection's too important to leave to chanceTake a stanceStand upI demand my timeTo unwindContemplateSee life in a stateOf clarityTime out is not for charityWe've got to stop and thinkOr life's just gone in a blinkNo passionJust crashin'Though life in a hasteWhat a waste.Follow my heartSeas partIf I dareBe the tortoise and not the hare ​Follow my heart

SINCE WE LAST MET...WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN EXPLORING OR CONFRONTED BY IN YOUR PERSONAL LEADERSHIP?

Stop spinning and be the rock

Don't take it personally

I'm struggling to play the game

When to end the coaching and begin leading.

Not in control of the situation...but I am in control of my response.

The detour is worth it

People see me as a fixer... Not who I really am.

Leave it at the office

The document below has information on the different listening focus areas of facts, values and feelings.

PERSONAL CODE:3 UNAMBIGOUS, PROVOCATIVE STATEMENTS OF WHAT YOU STAND FOR

HOW WILL YOU APPLY YOUR PERSONAL CODE?

ALL THE LEVELS ALL OF THE TIME

CLOSING

HOW WILL YOU APPLY WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON HERE?

I'm going to reflect and put up my personal code​

Peronal Code resonated. Conscious or unconcious print mine and put them on the bulletin board

PSC values. I have them printed and on my desk. Core Values and the Code, this where we need to start from.

My first reaction is I don't know. Then my reality is putting out fires. How will I work it into my everyday. Work on my listening.

Be more deliberate in making decisions.

I learned about the many different aspects of listening and will try to practice that more

How do I prompt myself about the nonverbal messages to remind myself

The inverse of my values is what is holding me back. We have to act on it. It is up to us to do it.

Listening beyond the facts for emotions and values. Create more trust

If I understand my values, what is the impact to those around me?

This course will be about skills and it is for me to figure it out. I will try to be consistent with my code.

Message from the Hopi Elders; 2001Source: Hopi EldersThere is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know that the river has its destination.

The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep your eyes open and our heads above water. And I say: see who is there with you and celebrate. At this time in history we are to take nothing personally, let alone ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over.

Gather yourselves. Banish the word "struggle" from your attitude and vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
